I waited to long once again to post the card we did in our zoom challenge, thank goodness we can save youtube videos of techniques or I would forget how we did them.
I believe what we did for the background of our stamped image is we took our ink pads and using just the edge swiped color across the front of the card. The we took normal school glue, and dipped an old gift card into the glue and stamped it onto the background and added our embossing powder and heated it up to leave the embossed strips. I happened to have the gel kind of school glue and it bubbled a bit more than I think the normal white glue would have but didn't want to buy a whole new bottle just for this technique.
I water colored the rose image using Distress Inks and my water brush. I used the same colors for the background swipes and coloring of the rose. I heat embossed the rose with embossing powder before watercoloring.

Such a cool technique Connie! And such a cool artsy card with such a beautiful flower. Happy weekend ahead to you. ;) 💗
Gorgeous! the colours and detail of your design is striking! ♥
Great swiping of the edge of your ink pad for this terrific background. Oh my goodness that flower is incredible. Really stunning card.
Fab fun fold! This is one of my most favorite color combos! That Blossom is big, bold and beautiful! Your background is fantastic too, looks like a stamp you could buy! Very cool!
Beautiful card dear friend!

So pretty, Connie xoxo
What a gorgeous card! I love both the fun fold and that awesome background you created!
I LOVE the background! What a great technique and one that would be fun to try, so I'll make a note. Sometimes I actually try the things I note, but then the backgrounds sit in a bag so long I forget what I did. Gorgeous rose with the antique gold embossing and your watercolor. Your ink colors all go so beautifully together.
